Developer says it has over 100 million daily players for 4 games, including Clash of Clans.

Congratulations, guys… you and the rest of the Clash of Clans crew now anchor a $10 billion mobile gaming powerhouse.

We’ve been hearing for years how mobile gaming has been growing at nearly inconceivable rates and will soon become the dominant force in the gaming business. Today’s $10 billion (£7 billion) purchase of Clash of Clans maker Supercell by Chinese gaming giant Tencent drives home just how big that shift is—or at least how big the market thinks it is.

Tencent paid $8.57 billion for about 84 percent of the Finnish Supercell (which is owned by Japanese parent Softbank), valuing the mobile game studio at about $10.2 billion. That means a mobile game company with four titles is now worth more than twice as much as both Minecraft-maker Mojang (acquired by Microsoft in 2014 for $2.5 billion) and VR company Oculus (acquired by Facebook in 2014 for $2 billion) combined. Looking outside of gaming, Supercell sold for nearly twice as much as the combined purchase price of both YouTubeand LucasFilm.

Candy Crush Saga maker King!

The only gaming acquisition that even comes close to the size of the Supercell deal is Activision’s purchase of Candy Crush Saga maker King, another mobile-focused studio. That move represented a $5.9 billion bet that franchises like Call of Duty, Overwatch, and Destiny aren’t going to be enough to sustain growth for the mega-publisher going forward. But King is largely a one-trick pony at this point, relying heavily on the Candy Crush games for the vast majority of its players and revenue. Supercell’s success runs a bit deeper, with mega-hit Clash of Clans backed up by smaller-but-still-big hits like Clash Royale, Boom Beach, and Hay Day.

The relative value of mobile gaming largely comes from the simple fact that so many people worldwide have smartphones in their pockets, and they are willing to download and try free-to-play titles. Supercell claims more than 100 million daily players for the four games mentioned above; that’s a little under 10 percent of the total market for mobile gamers worldwide, according to one estimate. For a console game to have 100 million players, it would have to be sold to roughly 50 percent of all console owners worldwide, according to other estimates. PC gaming looks relatively strong on a worldwide revenue basis, but these days the business is utterly contaminated by free-to-play MOBAs and MMOs, rather than more traditional single-player games or direct online competitions.

Asia is the key to this change, which helps explain why Tencent is willing to put so much money into acquiring a growing competitor. A recent Digi-Capital report estimates Asia will represent more than 50 percent of all mobile gaming revenue by 2018, leaving Europe and North America to divide up the remainder. That same report estimates the total market for mobile games will be $45 billion (€43 billion) in two years, representing a 40 percent plurality of the total gaming market.

That’s an amazing statistic when you consider mobile gaming was barely a statistical blip just under a decade ago. But non-mobile gamers shouldn’t necessarily worry that their preferred platforms are going away any time soon. Digi-Capital estimates that the console and offline PC gaming spaces will actually grow a bit over the next few years in terms of actual revenue dollars. Activision predicts the same thing. It’s just that the mobile game business will be growing even faster, increasing the size of the pie but not really eating into the existing slices spent on other games.

In other words, today’s Supercell acquisition shows that mobile gaming is increasingly going to be the first thing that the global game industry focuses its money on in the coming years. But that doesn’t mean it will be the only thing the industry focuses on for the forseeable future or that mobile games will crowd out the kinds of gaming people still love to do on other platforms.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Social Media Marketing (SMM), some call it SEM (Search Engine Marketing) or SMO (Social Media Optimization).
An important aspect of Search Engine Optimization is making your website (and/ or your products) easy for both users and search engine robots to understand. Although search engines have become increasingly sophisticated, in many ways they still can’t see and understand a web page the same way a human does. SEO helps the engines figure out what each page is about, and how it may be useful for users.

Social Media Marketing SMM Is Important To Your Business

Social media, has rapidly turned into a valuable tool for many businesses marketing strategies in this fast pace technology era. Social media marketing quickly became an important part of companies marketing efforts when seeking to secure a spot not only in the digital market place, but on traditional as well. Before I go further on explaining you how importance social media is for your business, I want to give you some eye opening statistics about social media marketing that might help you understand my point. According to 2012 Social Media Marketing Industry Report:

1. 94% of all businesses with a marketing department used social media as part of their marketing platform.

2. Almost 60% of marketers are devoting the equivalent of a full work day to social media marketing development and maintenance.

3. 43% of people from ages 20-29 spend more than 10 hours a week on social media sites.

4. 85% of all businesses that have a dedicated social media platform as part of their marketing strategy reported an increase in their market exposure.

5. 58% of businesses that have used social media marketing for over 3 years reported an increase in sales over that period.

If these statistics above weren’t enough… here are 3 more reasons why Social Media Marketing is important to your business.

The three main reasons why you should utilize social media marketing are relationship building, customer service, and reach. Let’s start with relationship building, social media allows you to create a connection with your current customers and future customers. The beauty of social media is that you can connect, interact, and built a relationship with people you would never have meet through other platforms. For example, Facebook permit your friends and friends of your friends, which are not directly connected to you, to share your posts. This allows your massage to reach and bring a lot more people to your website that you could ever imagine. Second, social media can be used as a great source of customer service, turning possible negative experiences your customers get somewhere else into a positive experience to you. With positive experiences and customer satisfaction comes retention and in the long run customer loyalty. Lastly, social media leads to a massive exposure due to its large reach. If your goal as a business owner is to expose your product or service to as many individuals as you can, than social media is the place to be because of the huge amount of people that use it daily.

In a blog post on Friday, Netherlands-based Fox-IT wrote that it ”detected and investigated the infection of clients after they visited yahoo.com.” Some advertisements displayed to Yahoo visitors — which are served from ads.yahoo.com – were malicious iframes, hosted on a number of domains, the firm reported.

From The Washington Post about Yahoo.com:

Ashkan Soltani, a security researcher and Washington Post contributor, alerted me to the issue. Often, he says, such attacks are “the result of hacking an existing ad network. But there’s another possibility, he says. The culprits may have simply submitted the malicious software as ordinary ads, sneaking past Yahoo’s system for filtering out malicious submissions.

…

The fact that the malware targeted flaws in the Java programming environment is an important reminder that the software has become a security menace. When it was created almost two decades ago, the Java programming language was hailed as a way to make Web sites more interactive. But it has been largely superseded for this purpose by technologies like Flash and JavaScript.

The earliest signs of infection were on Dec. 30, but could have been earlier, reports Fox-IT. The firm also updated their original blog post, writing that Yahoo was aware of the problem and “taking steps to fix” it.
